"It is so refreshing to see a film like this that returns to intelligently written humor presented with expert precision. I have to admit that when I first saw the title I rolled my eyes at the thought of just another poorly made excuse for a comedy. Within a few minutes of watching I was laughing out loud and completely captivated."

"Brutal Massacre is a very funny, very enjoyable film that deserves to be seen! I’ll even go as far as saying it’s one of the best films I’ve seen so far this year!"
Fight-Evil.com
"These wonderful characters are brought to life with a great script by Stevan Mena. A genuinely funny and supremely entertaining comedy that not only brings a smile to your face, but also embraces both the bloodthirsty film industry and the film genre that we love and respect.

"Until now, there's been no justification to call any film in its particular genre relative
to "Spinal Tap," at least not until "Brutal Massacre." It's is a raucous rage against
the
celluloid machine. Just get it, already!"

"Brutal Massacre: a Comedy does almost everything right. Anyone who has been
involved with the industry from film student to film mogul will tell you how
accurate some of these jokes are. Dead-on funny."
Houseofhorrors.com
"From a technical stand point the film is near flawless. Very well written, acted, directed, etc this film will certainly cement Mena as a "must watch" genre director and I know that I certainly eagerly await for what he might have up his sleeve next."
EInsiders.com
"Massacre brings genre favorites on board in sharply different roles than we’re used to seeing
them in; the result is a great lineup, one of the more enjoyable ensembles in recent years."
The Horror Review
"Strong performances, great directing and a wonderful script, what more can you ask for? Brutal Massacre is a cult masterpiece, that is sure to please the greatest of horror and comedy fans alike."
Fearzone.net
"BRUTAL MASSACRE is one of the funniest movies I've seen this year and, horror fan or no,
it's a damn funny movie, but, if you are a horror fan, then this is a 'must see' movie!"
Colonel’s Crypt
"Easily David Naughton’s best role since AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON.
Brutal Massacre is going to be a cult classic enjoyed for years to come."
Kick Ass Horror Reviews
"Brutal Massacre is creative, original, witty, hysterical, intelligent and one hell of
an entertainingly funny movie that works for both horror fans and non horror fans alike."
Fangoria
"I enjoyed the hell out of BRUTAL MASSACRE. A SPINAL TAP for horror filmmakers,
a hilarious gift to genre fans."

"If 'This is Spinal Tap' and 'The Office' could spawn, they'd give birth to BRUTAL MASSACRE."

"Revered for his work on horror flick Malevolence, it’s no surprise Mena is the perfect
candidate to take the piss out of what puts the bread on his table. And in the instance
of Brutal Massacre: A Comedy, he does just that with extraordinary results."
homemediamagazine.com
"the film’s intelligent mix of humor and horror puts it in a league of its own —
above films such as Scary Movie."
about.com
"a painfully funny and quick-witted lampoon of the filmmaking process."
RougeCinema.com
" If you're a fan of horror, then you're going to love this movie, but, if you're not,
it's still a movie that you'll laugh at...out loud! I can't recommend Brutal Massacre
highly enough, yes, it's that good."

“The Spinal Tap of horror”. Brutal Massacre is pure comedy providing 90
minutes of mockumentary mishaps and hijinks."

"One thing's for sure, this is definitely my all-time favorite David Naughton performance.
He completely inhabits the character of Harry Penderecki in a wonderful, deadpan
way that's consistently right on the mark."
